Narrow Stairs by Death Cab for Cutie

What is there to say about Death Cab for Cutie that hasn't already been said? To say that Narrow Stairs ($10) is an improvement on the Grammy-nominated (which is meaningless, we know) Plans would be a total fabrication. What we have here is a passable maintenance album that keeps the band alive and its coffers filled. It's not a zinger, but it's probably sappy enough to get you laid.
